Thanks for the tips! I don't autocross anymore, though I did in the beginning. I'll never be able to go consistently enough to compete in a season, and at most I can squeeze in 3-4 weekends a year to go, so the track time per dollar is more beneficial with HPDE's.Cochise, get Gonzo out to some autocrosses if you can't make it to too many HPDES at present , but you are in a good part of the Country where quite a few tracks are reasonably close. Go to drivenasa.com and check the Mid South Region and the Great Lakes Region for various NASA events close to you. You can also check at SCCA.com and see what autocross or track night events are happening near you and with both organizations you might be able to hit a few events close to home that work with your schedule. Glad to have you here and welcome to TMO!
A few questions.
- Those that have a similar set up, what ride height do you typically live at? Both front and rear?
Thanks for the input. I'm going to adjust the control arms to be parallel like you said. Someone in another forum said the same thing. I wasn't thinking about a specific measurement, just wasn't sure exactly how to ask how low/high to make the car. What modification did you do to the washer bottle dimple inner finder liner?I went just low enough to get the front lower control arm parallel to the ground. With the control arms in the top hole on the maximum motorsports k-member it's pretty low. Initially I made the rear roughly even. Since then I've gone slight down on the rear to fix some transitional oversteer issues and then adjust left/right to make my corner weights correct. I would have no idea of a number to tell you for ride height. Where do you want a measurement from?
I don't have either one.What modification did you do to the washer bottle dimple inner finder liner?
What I ordered was a complete maximum grip box with everything except for the rear sway-bar option.
